    How do I memorize a wide variety of songs?

    It’s normal to forget things you haven’t done in a while, everyone does it! The only way to remember songs or anything tbh is repetition. Play whatever it is everyday and it will become muscle memory

    Introduction to Hammer Ons & Pull Offs – Lesson 46

    It’s not bad! Everyone starts from the beginning 😊 So Far Away is a good one to start with if you want an Avenged song. Go on youtube and in the video settings you can change the playback speed. Change it from 1 to 0.75 or 0.5, then listen to the solo and try and figure it out one note at a...

    Birch Tree - Foals live loop cover

    So I did another loop cover! This time a song from one of my favourite bands, Foals. I feel like my solo improv would sound better with a couple fast runs here and there, need to build up speed with my scales 😂 Also been trying to play more intervallic lately instead of just up and down scales...

    How To Hold The Pick – Lesson 4

    I held my pick “wrong” for 12 years 😂 I only realised there was a right way to hold it after watching this lesson, then I immediately changed it. It was awkward at first but that was a year ago now and it feels completely natural now. I’ve noticed my playing is less sloppy and easier to pick up...

    Overview of the Electric Guitar – Lesson 1

    You should definitely do it! My first guitar was an epiphone les paul, i got it second hand for about £200. What kind of guitar do you want? Any particular model you like?

    Guitar heroes

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I totally agree with everything he said, being a guitar wizard seems almost useless without a good song to put it in 😂 unfortunately most people don’t appreciate amazing guitar skills without a song. I have to mention my current guitar hero, Tash Sultana...

    CAGED System – Playing Over Four Chords – D C G & F – Lesson 31

    Yeah definitely. Because it's in D major you start with the "C shape" in the 2nd position (fret) like in the lessons, and then you can connect the other shapes by moving up the neck to the A shape, G shape etc spelling out CAGED. I found this backing track, it's not very interesting lol but it...

    Comment by 'Saoirse Byrne' in media 'Dead Horse - Hayley Williams Live loop cover (#covernationhayleycontest)'

    wow thank you so much! I am trying to write songs at the moment, it’s mainly a confidence issue I guess, I don’t really think my songs are good enough 😂 I’m scared to put them on youtube lol

    Introducing my band: SINS

    Sick song! You guys are really good. Love the guitar, singing was great too. I came across polyphia a while ago and checked out a few songs, honestly i like your song better 😂

    Dead Horse - Hayley Williams Live loop cover (#covernationhayleycontest)

    This is a loop cover I did for a competition. The solo at the end is improv 😅 mainly using pentatonics from the CAGED system i learnt on here. Let me know what you think, any tips to improve would be great. I want to start doing more covers like this and make them better!

    Users Experience and Opinions About Audio Interfaces

    I did a lot of research trying to find the best way to record at home in my price range and I ended up going with a second hand focusrite scarlett 2i2. I got one with 2 inputs as I wanted to record vocals and guitar at the same time, if you only want to record guitar the solo 1 input version is...

    How to record with an audio interface

    I have a scarlett 2i2 as well and I’ve used it with reaper before (mainly use ableton tho). It’s pretty easy, make sure you have the drivers installed and then select it in reapers preferences as what you’d like to use to record. Then import your backing track and record your guitar. Personally...

    Double jointed pinky finger?

    My pinky fingers are also kinda stiff and click when i bend them for some reason and sometimes lock up too when playing. I’m not sure it’s the same as double jointed but the pinky is definitely a bit less agile because of this. Honestly I used to almost never use my pinky but since making an...

    Nightmare solo - Is it good?

    It’s good!! I would just keep an eye on your timing as you’re lagging slightly behind the recording on the faster bits (to my ear anyway). That’s just practice though! Well done 👍🏻
